Chipper Jones to throw out 1st pitch for Braves in season opener

ATLANTA (AP) Chipper Jones has retired from the Braves, but he will still be on the field as the team takes on the Philadelphia Phillies in the season-opener in Atlanta.

Jones is set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for his old team Monday night at Turner Field.

Aside from a new lineup without Jones, fans will see a few changes at the stadium.

There are two new restaurants at Turner Field, new scoreboard clocks and a new location for retired jersey numbers. The team says it has also improved wi-fi service in the stadium.

Gates open at 4:40 p.m. EST for the opener, with right-hander Tim Hudson on the mound for the Braves.
